I'm going fishing soon for the first time this year, and was reminding myself of the one knot I learned while I was a fishing guide one summer.

I found it on this page - apparently it's called the "palomar knot". I'm very fond of it because you can easily tie it with cold, wet hands in the rain and it won't lose fish. Works with braided and monofilament.




I am using a half blood knot but seeing the palomar knot makes me want to try this because it seems a lot easier than threading the line through the loop five times (or did I thread it five times already?).


I've forgotten all the knots I learned in Boy Scouts. This is a great time for me to spend some time relearning.
